To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN T.

A represents an ordinary wash-tub, to which my device is especiallyadapted.

, bis a rubber attached. to or'niade -permanent in the `bottom of thetubA.

m D is av corresponding upper rubber, as will be hercrnafter more fullyexplained.

B is a stem or upright, passingcentrally up through the bottomof the tuband lower rubber b, and made securely fast to the same. l c c ispacylinder or hub, passing down overthe stem B, moving freely upon thesame,

D represents the upper rubber, as before stated, and is made fast to thecylinder' or hub c o, with ten ring or hook L E is a pivoted lin hub o cat i. H H is apulley-cord, starting at the opposite coruer of hub c'c atJ, and passing up through the pulley l( at the top ot' the stem B,thence down to the on lever E. i Thus-it will readily be seen that, bya` gentle de; pression amlelevationof the lever E, the vertical-movement of rubber D is easily obtained, and, by am" oscillatingmovement of'said. lever E, the partalrotary is readily called to'facilitate the lahoroi`- more effectnally cleansing the fabric.

Having thusdesoribed myinvention, y,

` VllVhat lI claim as new, and desire to secure by. Letters Patent, is-

The stenrB, having pulley-wheel K al'xed to the top, or its equivalent,in combination with cord H H, when said cord is attached to hub c c,andrto lever E,
